Experienced users can explore specific topics with selected exercises.

The following sample problem was designed to familiarize you with the basics of solving heat transfer problems using WinTherm. This is just one possible solution path for solving the problem. As you become more familiar with WinTherm, you will develop your own methods for solving problems such as this.

mental ray® is the leading rendering engine for generating photorealistic images, built into many 3D graphics applications. This book, written by the mental ray software project leader, gives a general introduction into rendering with mental ray, as well as step-by-step recipes for creating advanced effects, and tips and tricks for professional users. A comprehensive definition of mental ray's scene description language and the standard shader libraries is included and used as the basis for all examples.1

This document attempts to introduce the reader gradually to the use of FlexPDE in the solution of systems of partial differential equations.
We begin with a discussion of the basic character of FlexPDE. We then construct a simple model problem and proceed to add features to the model.

This video tutorial is a general overview of how to use Scan2CAD to convert a raster file to vectors. It covers the whole process from opening the raster file in Scan2CAD to saving it as a scaled DXF file.

This interactive tutorial will demonstrate how to perform different types of dynamic analysis using MD Nastran and Patran. First, it shows how to create a simple cantilevered plate model that will be used for different types of dynamic analysis. Then, it demonstrates how to perform normal modes analysis, direct transient response analysis, and frequency response analysis.
Ability Level: Beginner

This tutorial will demonstrate how you can setup a model and perform motion analysis within the SimXpert motion workspace, displaying motion of the model under conditions specified and results charts.
Ability Level: Beginner

SINDA/G (Systems Improved Numerical Differencing Analyzer
/Gaski) was designed to be a general purpose thermal analyzer.
SINDA/G is more than a program, it's a software system that can be
customized to meet most needs in thermal modeling. It is capable of
solving lumped parameter representations of physical problems governed
by diffusion-type equations. The thermal system to be modeled is
divided into thermal masses (thermal capacitance's) and conductors.
This forms a conductor-capacitor or G-C network that is solved by
SINDA/G. The full structure of SINDA/G will be explained through the
use of an example problem in the next section of this tutorial.

JK Mold Design is a leading provider of high-end, complex mold designs for plastic
injection-molded parts and aluminum and zinc die casting. Until the late 1990s,
the contract design firm used the CADKEY® 2D design package to create engineering
drawings for mold designs that customers use to manufacture products and
components. According to John Kreutzberger, owner of JK Mold Design, 2D tools
were adequate until he began receiving a variety of 3D design data. He discovered
he was spending an inordinate amount of time rebuilding models in 2D, and started
landing projects requiring increasingly complex mold designs.

We have created a series of tutorial videos to help introduce new users to ThreeDify Office Designer. These tutorial videos demonstrate basic operations like creating Designer instances in Microsoft Office documents, and customizing your office toolbars to allow you to work in Design Mode. Each Tutorial video is between two and a half and four minutes long.

Outdoor Technologies Inc. (OTI) manufactures vinyl fencing, decking, and railing
products. The company originally used AutoCAD® 2D design tools, but believed it
could increase productivity and improve product visualization for its customers by
moving to a 3D CAD system. OTI initially chose the Autodesk Inventor® 3D CAD
package in 2003. Because the company had used Autodesk® software, it believed
upgrading to Inventor represented the most economical option due to discounted
pricing, according to Stan Hathorn, engineering/technical manager.

Samson Design Associates, Inc. specializes in helping clients develop concepts
involving human interaction – such as exercise equipment, medical products, and
safety systems – into actual products that clients can manufacture and sell at a
profit. In response to tighter client budgets and shorter delivery deadlines, the firm
investigated ways to streamline its development processes, including the use of
integrated modeling and design analysis capabilities to save time, reduce prototype
cycles, and cut costs, according to Nick Smith, mechanical engineer.

The SINDA/G library is a large collection of subroutines designed to be
compatible with the SINDA/G system. These subroutines cover a wide variety of
subjects and permit the user to construct SINDA/G operations blocks with a minimum of
programming knowledge.

SINDA, the Systems Improved Numerical Differencing Analyzer, is a software
system that possesses capabilities which make it well suited for solving lumped
parameter representations of physical problems governed by diffusion-type equations.
The system is designed as a general thermal analyzer accepting conductor-capacitor (GC)
network representations of thermal systems. SINDA/G can solve other types of
problems that can be represented as G-C networks.

We have created a series of tutorial videos to help introduce new users to ThreeDify Grapher. These tutorial videos demonstrate basic operations like creating 3D graphs in your Excel worksheets, customizing and beautifying your graphs, and customizing your office toolbars to allow you to work in Design Mode. Each Tutorial video is between two and a half and four minutes long.

In this section of manual there are examples of 2D drawing and 3D modeling. Each example contains an animated flash, set of related images and description. Some of the flash frames or separate images contain labels displaying which key or mouse button will be pressed in the next step. Clicking only the VariCAD objects is described; obvious behavior like a left click icons or buttons is omitted. Description of zoom, pan or 3D view rotation is omitted, too. The printed version of the manual contains only static images and description.

softelec gmbh (hereafter called softelec) grants a limited, non-exclusive right to use the software installed on computers (PC’s) - workstations or a network server. In addition, softelec grants the right to only one (1) user or - in the event of network licenses - to the number of user stated in the network license agreement to activate and use the software at any one time once the user of the software has registered with softelec and thereafter received the corresponding authorization code.
